Does Fluconazole start menstrual period?

I have a health conditions call PCOS. I don't usually get my menstrual period. I was given Fluconazole from my doctor yesterday after finding out I have a yeast infection. An hour after taking the medication I started to have pain of starting my period. It's been 24 hours since I've taken the pill and I'm still in pain. But I have not started bleeding. Can someone please help answer my question.

I have PCOS too. No, fluconazole does not induce menstruation. Stomach pains are listed as a side effect of the drug on the drug website and medicine insert. It indicates if you have this side effect, you should notify your doctor. If you did start your period, it could have been just a coincidence. Most of us with PCOS know that it is going to come if and when it wants to, if at all, but we don't know for sure when. You probably had a reaction to the medicine. If you still have the symptoms, I would contact my doc asap.
